Writing Requirements

  • 2 – 3 pages in length  (excluding the cover page, abstract, and reference list)

Arm 64 assembly- program

 Demonstrate your understanding of Assembly in relation to other languages, your ability to apply existing ARM64 assembly mnemonics and techniques to a specific purpose, and to demonstrate the ability to research new elements/properties of assembly/processors and implement examples based on that research.  Your deliverables for the project will include, functional ARM64 assembly code demonstrating the required elements listed below, build/make files for the code, a text description of what is happening in the code as supported by analysis via GDB, and a short, but descriptive presentation of your work in class. 

You may determine the context, order, and any linkages between the required elements listed below, but you must demonstrate all the elements in one file.  You may use online resources as references, but you may not copy and paste, retype verbatim, or use other similar techniques to submit someone else’s work as your own.  If you have questions about this, ask your instructor.  The required programmatic elements are as follows:

  • incorporation of a higher level/generation language such as C, C++, or Python
  • use of the floating point register
  • implementation of a bubble sort algorithm
  • ARM64/aarch64 assembly
  • good comments

Assignment

 

Read chapter 13 of your textbook (attached), and review online library and reputable articles/journals/online resources and write 3/4 page paper and discuss:

How do you design a secure network. Discuss latest technologies to keep your network secure.

Please list your reference/sources

discussion

 Of the seven elements in project closeout management, which do you view as being most important? Why?  (you may use an example or case to illustrate) 

 • Book- Project Management: Achieving Competitive Advantage (5th ed.) Jeffery K. Pinto  

Homework

 For the Usability Journal assignment, you are to write three (3) journal entries.

  • Each entry shall be approximately 250 words or 1 Pages. (Total 750 Words).
  • Each entry shall focus on an object that contains a bad usability design.
  • Explain why the object being described does not maintain good usability practices.
  • The deliverable shall include citable examples of best practices from academic literature explaining why the product/object does not follow best practices.

Example:

  • A remote control.
    • What about the remote control makes the device both a good and bad example for the usability perspective?
    • Each deliverable will contain:
    • Each entry shall be approximately 250 words or 1 Pages. (Total 750 Words).
    • APA citation with examples from scholars explaining best practices that should be followed
    • An example image of the bad design practice followed
    • An example of good potential practices to follow

Total 3 Pages That’s excluding Cover Page and Reference page

heuristics

 For your initial reaction post, focus on how heuristics are tailored for specific problems. Are there standard heuristics? are there specific ones? why? do they make sense? Is there any heuristic that you would add to any of the papers? is it easy to measure?

Do include some of the learning from the mandatory reading part and connect with one or more of the articles listed.  Make sure you include references/sources in your posts.
